Batch Cook Brilliance: Your One-Stop-Shop Bolognese Sauce for Endless Meals
Hey team!
Life is busy, and sometimes the last thing you want to do at the end of a long day is think about what to cook. That’s where batch cooking comes in! Cooking a big pot of something delicious on a Sunday afternoon means you’ve got easy, homemade kai ready to go on those hectic weeknights. And when it comes to freezer-friendly meals, nothing beats a classic Bolognese sauce.
Bolognese is the ultimate freezer-friendly meal. A big pot of mince, tinned tomatoes, and vegetables can be made into a delicious sauce that serves as the base for many different meals throughout the week or month.
This isn’t just a sauce; it’s a foundation for a week of no-fuss dinners. A large batch of mince, bulked out with grated carrots, celery, and onions, creates a rich and flavourful base that freezes like a dream. You can portion it into containers and freeze it, ready to be defrosted and transformed into a variety of different meals.
Bolognese to the rescue:
- Serve it with spaghetti one night.
- Use it as the filling for a classic lasagna.
- Load it into toasted buns for “sloppy joes”.
- Top kumara or potatoes with it for a hearty, baked meal.
This recipe is about working smarter, not harder. It’s about saving yourself from the temptation of expensive takeaways and making sure your whānau is always just minutes away from a wholesome, home-cooked meal.
